摘要：

The aim of this paper is to fit theWeibull probability distribution to recently published data on monthly average daily ultraviolet (UV) radiation over Kuwait. The goodness-of-fit of the Weibull model is demonstrated both graphically and via several statistical tests such as modified Anderson-Darling, Cramer-von Mises, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests. As a result, we can estimate statistical measures associated with monthly average dailyUVradiation data such as the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of the monthly average daily UV radiation over Kuwait.
